The HOPE Fund of Penns Valley

A huge thank you to Stoner's Small Engine Repair for supporting the 5th Annual Toast to TJ for HOPE as our Entertainment Sponsor!

Because of their generosity, guests will enjoy live music from local favorite JT Thompson as we come together for an afternoon of fun, community, and giving back.

Toast to TJ for HOPE is the HOPE Fund's largest fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised stays local—providing emergency assistance to our neighbors when they need it most.

Interested in joining Stoner's Small Engine Repair as a sponsor? We'd love to talk with you about how you can make a difference in our community. Reach out today to learn more!

The Hope Fund would like to thank everyone who took the time to donate to our nonprofit during Centre Gives. We raised $15,663 from 40 donors and won $250 from the Penns Valley Regional Lucky Ticket sponsored by CBICC. Our Grand Total that includes monies from the “stretch pools” is $18,330! This will certainly help a lot of our Penns Valley residents who have a medical crisis or personal disaster. Our application can be found at: pennsvalleyhopefund.com

We Greatly Appreciate Each One of You for Your Continued Support ❤️

Also, Centre Gives thanks you for helping to break their 2025 record to over $3 Million!!

We are one week away from Centre Gives 36 hour on-line giving on May 6-7! Thank you for sharing with others so they too can donate to their local Centre County nonprofits. We hope that your first choice will be to The Hope Fund of Penns Valley 🙂
What a time to donate when your Bucks$$$ ($10 minimum) go further as we receive a percentage from the stretch pools. We can even earn prize money for the most donors received during a special hour.
Ours will be:
May 6 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
May 7 - 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Centre Gives 2026 - May 6-7
Centre Foundation's 36-hour online giving event is set to begin on May 6 at 8 am and conclude on May 7 at 8 pm. This event is designed to support the great work of local nonprofits serving Centre County like The Hope Fund of Penns Valley!

In addition to donating online at CentreGives.org on May 6 & 7, we offer two unique offline ways for donors to maximize their impact and support their favorite Centre County organizations!

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds can be directly given to support Centre Gives participating nonprofit organizations.

Compared to cash donations or selling securities and donating after-tax proceeds, giving appreciated securities during Centre Gives amplifies your support of participating organizations.

The minimum securities gift is only $100 per organization.
Eliminate capital gains tax.
Eligible for tax deduction of full market value.
Securities can be transferred directly to Centre Foundation.
Administrative fee is 2%.

Centre Gives gifts of securities will be accepted until April 24, 2026.

Stock Donation Form

Individuals can reduce the taxability of their IRA distribution while stretching their impact on Centre Gives participating nonprofit organizations.

Compared to using IRA distributions to give directly to a nonprofit, Centre Gives allows donors to maximize their impact via the stretch pool.

The minimum IRA distribution is only $100 per organization.
Checks can be mailed directly to Centre Foundation before Centre Gives.
Administrative fee is 2%.

Centre Gives IRA distributions will be accepted until April 24, 2026
